4K images are breathtaking. I did not notice any artifacts or image stuttering when watching a 4K movie/video. It played flawlessly. The games I played looked fantastic! Immediately registering the display with the manufacturer extends your warranty 2 more years for a total of a 3year warranty! Definitely pleased with that!
The negatives of this are the speakers. They are not loud at all. I resolved that by plugging in my external speakers. For me, the manual was a little lacking as far as explaining exactly what the various features do. Just saying ON or OFF doesn’t really tell me what it does.
For the average user and what I use the monitor for, i couldn’t be happier! Working flawless for almost 2 months now. Fantastic price for all the included features with a 3 year warranty included (must register product) is a big win for me. So glad I came across this display here on Amazon.
UPDATE : le vendeur a t trs arrangeant, tout est rentr dans l’ordre.
Colours are absolutely amazing, so long as you have HDR enabled, price is brilliant for the picture quality and the quality of the product. Easy to set up and feels really sturdy. Speakers leave a little to be desired but I only use this for my PlayStation anyways so they don’t get used much.
As soon as I enabled, it was a world of difference. Clean, sharp and very good colour reproduction.
Lots of light bleed in the corners, but this was a 200 quid monitor so I dont care.
I have a bright green pixel in the centre of the screen, very noticable if I have a black background to it. Picture attached. I just resized my windows so the pixel will sit on a window margin. I dont care about this because its not my main screen.
This is a good cheap second screen that punches way above its asking price because it has HDR. If you dont use it as a main screen you will be happy. I bought it solely so I dont burn out my expensive OLED screen.
Picture attached of the Z-Edge on the left and my AW3423DW on the right. The OLED is better, but its not horrible next to the cheap screen.
Despite the above flaws, this is a positive review. I am very very happy with my purchase for the price.
Your experience may differ, but I found I had to make the following colour balance changes to match with my Macbook’s display:
Red: 49
Green: 50
Blue: 60 (I know – seems crazy)
Depending on how well calibrated these displays are, you may find slightly different values work best for you. Additionally, if you’re running a Mac, I recommend you change from the default colour profile to ‘Colour LCD’.
As other reviewers have pointed out, you only seem to be able to get 60 Hz out of this monitor with the displayport connection, so suggest buying a displayport to USB-C/HDMI cable.
Overall a good budget monitor, consider a monitor with 99% sRGB coverage if colour quality is very important to you.
Picture quality is good. Brightness is good. It’s not the fastest display but for the money, I couldn’t find a better 4k display. I haven’t used this to do any gaming and I don’t think I would want to at 4k especially. Sure, you can go get a large 4k tv but the response time is sooo slow
I’m using this on a 2015 macbook pro which I’ve used on better monitors in the past. I would buy this monitor again if I was pinched for cash.
So the monitor is great. It looks nice. My problem came when setting it up. Unless it just has a sensitive plug. I spent 20 minutes trying to do different things to get the monitor to turn on [ yes I read the instructions ] turns out I just had to hold the plug in the right spot for it to turn on. It’s kind of an inconvenient situation, but other than that, it’s good.
Using two of them at my desk. It has made a huge difference. I had to lower the resolution to see the print because they are actually higher resolution than required. However, this gives the option to get the best resolution when watching video.
THERE IS NO EXTERNAL VOLUME UP AND DOWN CONTROLS and no remote…if this matters to you then don’t buy this monitor.
——> Update 4/23 <------ The company contacted me about the audio issue and offered a full refund. I declined as the video is very good and said I would just purchase an external speaker to control the audio. They replied and offered to contribute to the purchase of an external audio. This is customer service at its best.
Nice size and quality, love this monitor it fits my home office perfectly. This one was a replacement because one of my of the monitors got damaged moving the office desk
There are 2 HDMI ports on the back of this monitor. The only effort you need to put into this is to make sure you plug the HDMI cable into the HDMI port that supports 4K@60Hz refresh rate, not the 30Hz refresh rate–Easy Peezy. Another thing you might want to confirm is that the processing core on your laptop/desktop is able to support that high of a resolution@60Hz refresh rate. That info is a little harder to find, as you’d need to go to the manufacturer’s site that makes your exact processing cpu and find the specifications of your exact chip model.
PS. please excuse my daughter as my wallpaper.
PPS. this works so well, i bought 2 of these; contemplating on buying 2 more as well.
I bought this about 4 months ago from this review (august 2021) and have been using it daily for hours upon hours ever since. I use it at my desk, pack it up for on the go work, and I’ve never had any complaints. Occasionally it’ll disconnect briefly, but I can’t for sure say that it’s the screen as opposed to my laptop since I haven’t tried troubleshooting. Either way, it happens so infrequently that it doesn’t bother me.
The screen is very bright and the color replication is great as well. Would definitely buy this again if I needed to
Is HDR any good? I’m not sure. Enabling it requires changing all of my settings and I didn’t see enough of a difference to bother. It is not VESA HDR certified, which means if you really want good HDR you’ll have to find it somewhere else.
Refresh rate and response time: this monitor has slower response time than you’d want if you want to do a lot of gaming, you’d see ghosting most likely.
Color and contrast: the contrast is good, on the order of a high end TN panel from a few years ago. The color seems to be on the same order or better, but I have no good way to test this objectively.
Overall, if you just want a 4k monitor and aren’t too picky about anything but resolution, this will exceed your expectations.
FYI the sound is unusable for all intents and purposes…. But who buys a monitor for sound???
I think of the fact that it even has sound as being a huge bonus. But seriously, the sound sucks… I’d describe it as “for emergency use only”. =)
War erst skeptisch ob das was fr mich wre ich brauchte ein kleinen Monitor um mal grer schauen zu knnen ber handy oder fr PC da meiner sonst am TV angeschlossen ist und wenn Frau tv schauen mchte konnte ich nix machen dran. Nun klappt es . Das Bild ist hell und ist nicht mal hochgestuft. Der Ton ist ok aus den Boxen. Die praktische Magnet Hlle finde ich klasse. Ich kann ihn sehr empfehlen.
For the price, it’s definitely a great product. I use it as a second monitor for my laptop. The picture quality is great. The screen has a Matt finish, thus less reflective. It’s easily powered by my laptop and doesn’t drain my battery much. The speakers are not as good, but not a problem for me since I rarely use them.
It arrived quite early, well packaged (better packaging than my laptop which costs about 10 times more). I’ve had it for about 2 weeks and no complains whatsoeve
Das Gert macht einen sehr wertigen Eindruck. Die Schutzhlle ist praktisch und funktional da sie gleichzeitig als Stnder fungiert. Es gibt auch genug Anschlsse fr alle gngigen Gerte (2x USB C l, 1xmini hdmi). Zudem sind auch ein USB C auf USB c, USB c auf USB, hdmi auf mini hdmi Kabel und ein Netzteil im Lieferumfang dabei.
Die Verbindung mit meinem Android Handy funktionierte schnell und unkompliziert. Auch mit meinem Laptop lief es nicht anders. Die Bildqualitt finde ich gut und auch die verbauten Lautsprecher sind akzeptabel fr die Bauform. Benutze es berwiegend als zweit Bildschirm am Laptop und bin absolut zufrieden.
Ich nutze den Monitor als Erweiterung an meinem Notebook. Da ich am Notebook vor allem mit Photoshop arbeite, ist der zustzliche Monitor absolut praktisch, sollte aber eben deswegen auch gewisse Anforderungen erfllen. Unter anderem sollte die Auflsung und die Farbtemepratur (einstellbar) passen. Beides ist bei dem Z Edge der Fall.
Die Verarbeitung ist solide.
Sowohl mit dem Notebook als auch mit Smartphone ist der Monitor in Sekunden verbunden. Die eingabuten Boxen sind in Ordnung, auch wenn ich sie nicht zwingend bentige.
Fazit: Fr mich die richtige Wahl, leicht zu transportieren, unkompliziert zu nutzen.
